Ignoring the embarrassment, Velia followed Vlora. They headed for a luxurious room at Fullman Batavia Park Hotel.
Vlora was professional. Her expression was flat when she said.
“Please rest while waiting for Mr. Hernandez and I will transfer the money immediately.”
Velia nodded. Her face lowered and she waited for Vlora to leave first before entering the room.
Velia closed the door, and the state of the room instantly stunned her. It was the most expensive type offered, with an area ranging from 172 square meters. Unbelievably, there was a grand piano being her first view.
Complete and classy facilities. Fancy ornaments adorned some points. Expensive carpets covered the floor.
Not only has one bed, that presidential room has two separate rooms. Also, it had a spacious living room, dining room, and even a private workspace.
Ignoring the 65-inch flat-screen television, Velia was more interested in the large windows. She pushed aside the curtain and saw the sunset.
Velia was stunned. Her eyes looked up at the sky, and she was alone. She did not care about the luxury room and her mind was empty.
The luxury room gave its signal to Velia. She has decided and could not back down when she received a message from an unknown number.
Velia had already received the money like Lucas said. And without wasting time, Velia immediately sent the money to Rambo and Nia.
She let out a long breath. She felt a little calmer now.
The sound of the bell attracted Velia’s attention. Then, she put her phone on the table and opened the door. A waiter came with a food cart.
“Your dinner, Miss.”
Velia smiled faintly. “Thank you.”
The server served all dishes at the dinner table.
“Enjoy your dinner, Miss.”
After the waiter left, Velia immediately ate the food. She was tired, and her stomach had been hungry ever since.
Twenty minutes elapsed. The hunger that Velia felt was gone and replaced by satiety. She paused for a moment before deciding to take a shower.
The first time, Velia walked into one of the rooms. She stepped slowly, and her gaze moved around.
One bed measuring 200 x 200 centimeters attracted Velia’s attention. The classic-modern design gave a flawless perfect impression.
Velia enchanted. The cold was present and made her shudder. She closed her eyes, hoping that all the scary shadows would disappear from her mind.
Velia’s steps continued. She passed a huge wardrobe and ended up in a stunning bathroom.
Dominated by the white of natural marble stone, it was a bathroom that would fulfill the ladies’s dreams for an unforgettable bathing experience. There were a soaking tub and shower, the garden, and all the facilities.
Including bathrobes, towels, and a hairdryer. Various types of soaps and shampoos were also available. Practically, Velia did not need to think about anything else when taking off all the clothes.
Velia went into the shower room. Warm water began to pour out and wet the whole body.
Velia’s eyes closed. Along with the flow of water that continues to pour, one-word echoed in her mind.
All for Harry.

Never asked how professional Lucas was. With the hot shadow in the car earlier, seeing him calm down while discussing with Samuel Rhodes was truly amazing.
Lucas was in control. He focused and fulled of concentration, especially if it was about Greatech.
Gretech was a company that widely provides solutions in the digital world. Alluding to the critical mission of the application, Greatech delivered the comprehensive service that everyone expects. Not only focusing on the application of software and hardware, it also offered customization as an information technology system security solution.
Lucas has been as CEO at the information technology-based company since two years ago. Through the years of struggling with the world of property and jewelry, Jeff Hernandez and Sandra Hernandez decided that their son would take care of another sector.
Lucas and Greatech were soulmates. It was only two years, but a lot had happened. Various achievements that make people amazed.
“For the next I will contact Vlora. Thank you, Sir.”
Lucas and Samuel shook hands. Letting Samuel went first, Lucas turned to Vlora.
“How?”
Vlora clearly understood the point of Lucas’s question.
“Ms. Howell is already in the room, Sir. The hotel servant has delivered the food, she should have enjoyed dinner. I send the money as you asked.”
Lucas nodded. “Next?”
“She was indeed an employee in the Development and Planning Department and was noted as a disciplined employee. Ms. Howell was once an exemplary employee of the Department.”
Listening carefully, Lucas slightly changed his sitting position. His hand reached out to grab a cup of tea. Slowly, he took a sip of the red-brown drink.
“But she’s been absent a lot and has been late for the last few months. The finance department also showed that she made large loans. That’s caused her fired without salary and severance pay.”
Lucas’s forehead wrinkled and he seemed to be thinking.
“Something happened to her?”
“I think so. But I am not sure, Sir.”
Lucas recalled Velia ever said about the debt. He was pretty sure that caused her made a loan at the company. But he was not sure about her undisciplined.
How much does Velia owe? Why did she do all this?
Lucas took one last sip of tea. When the cup returned to the coaster, he said.
“All right. You can go home.”
Vlora nodded. “Thank you, Sir.”
After Vlora left, Lucas finally got up. Of course, he went to the room where Velia was.
Lucas pressed the bell and shortly thereafter, the door opened. Velia’s visible face, fresh out of the shower, was the first thing he saw. Lucas came in, closed the door.
Saying nothing, Lucas continued to step inside. And he just stopped for looking at the the dinner table.
“You have eaten.”
Velia was not sure if it was a question or what, but she nodded. While squeezing a white bathrobe wrapped around her body, she said.
“I don’t know when you’ll come, so ….”
Velia was confused how to explain it. The situation made her nervous.
Lucas turned his body. Looking at Velia from top to bottom. “It’s okay. That was for you,” he said.
“Thank you.”
“Okay,” Lucas continued later. “Now, please.”
Velia saw Lucas sitting on the side of the bed. He took off his coat. Also unbuttoned on both wrists.
“P-Please what?”
Lucas looked at Velia. “Naked.”
